How Our Pricing Works
Rather than charging for designs by the hour, or forcing people into subscriptions, we take a different approach to our design pricing. Tapping into our years of experience in the industry, we developed an objective pricing worksheet that operates on a point based system. Every design element is assigned a point value based on complexity and scope.
Examples include:
Complexity of modeling the home and terrain
Patios & hardscaping size
Outdoor living accessory elements like kitchens and fire pits
Planting size and complexity
Pools & water features
Grading considerations
Property size & layout complexity
The total points = your total design cost.
Simple. Predictable. Repeatable.
Pricing is Built on Points
Prices measured by hundreds, not thousands
Our average 3D design costs $892
Once your project scope is defined, we calculate the total points and apply a fixed cost per point.
No hourly billing
No inflated “design time”
No forced subscription pricing
No surprises at the end
This allows you to:
Confidently quote your clients upfront
Protect your margins
Move faster from design → sale → build

Our landscape design pricing is built on a structured, points-based system. Each element of your outdoor living project—such as patios, planting plans, outdoor kitchens, pools, and overall property size—is assigned a point value based on complexity. The total points determine the final design cost, giving contractors a clear, objective, and repeatable way to price landscape design services.
-
The cost of a landscape design or 3D rendering depends on the scope of the project. Smaller residential landscape designs require fewer points, while larger outdoor living projects with multiple features require more. Because our pricing is tied directly to project elements, you only pay for what’s included—making it one of the most transparent landscape design pricing models available.
-
Traditional hourly landscape design pricing can be unpredictable and often leads to overages. Our points-based system eliminates uncertainty by providing fixed, upfront pricing based on scope—not time. This allows contractors to confidently quote projects, protect margins, and avoid unexpected design costs.
-
We strongly encourage that you do! SCAPES is built specifically for landscape contractors who want to outsource landscape design while maintaining strong profit margins. Our clear pricing structure makes it easy to mark up 2D plans and 3D renderings, turning design into a scalable revenue stream for your business.
-
Our 3D landscape renderings are high-quality, photorealistic visuals designed to help homeowners fully understand the project. These renderings are one of the most effective tools for improving client confidence, accelerating decision-making, and increasing overall project value.
-
Yes. We can provide fully white-labeled designs so everything appears as your company’s work when presented to your clients.
-
Most landscape design projects are completed within 1–2 weeks from kickoff. Turnaround time depends on project size and complexity, but our streamlined process is built to deliver fast, consistent results so contractors can keep projects moving and close jobs quickly.
